Bible Reading: Deut. 20: 16-20, 2:24
Memory Verse: And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. Matthew 11:12
If you do not increase your level of “holy aggression”, you may not obtain some of God’s greatest gift to you in life. Hear me: there is no free zone in life. In every man’s Promised land, there are giants. You must fight to drive them out. On getting to the Canaan land, the children of Israel met some occupants – the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites whom they had to totally destroy before they could inherit the land. Nothing of value is truly free beloved. Any free gift given to you was paid for by another person whom you may not know. Salvation is common but it came with the price of the Blood of Jesus.
Blind Bartimaeus in Mark 10:46-52 was told to keep quiet as Jesus passed by. He knew he may never meet Jesus again so he shouted in holy desperation, “Thou son of David, have mercy on me”. Some people are too gentle to live the life of their dreams. You must learn to fight on your knees in fervent prayer to get what you want in life. Life will not give you what you want but what you demand. The Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4:8-37 refused to accept sympathy on the death of her only child. In desperation, she placed a demand on the anointing of God upon Prophet Elisha and her child came back to life. The friends to the paralytic man in Mark 2 got to the house where Jesus was only to meet a mammoth crowd by the door. They had no time to queue, negotiate or wait for their turn hence, they broke the roof! Not only do they have faith that Jesus could heal their friend, they had the courage to demand for his healing when and where they want it. What are you doing concerning the next phase of your life? Are you not tired of that affliction in your family? You need to take a violent step today.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 22 – 24
Quote: The kingdom suffers violence and the violent man must take destiny by force.
